Would you venture to say the decreased weight of the aluminum rim would provide better performance than the increased aero of a carbon rim? Also, what makes the braking any different on a carbon rim vs aluminum? Thank you for the wheel suggestion by the way, I really appreciate you going out of your way to search for those!
